Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the White Sox walking Juan Soto to face Aaron Judge, how Judge’s season could’ve been even better, the world’s untapped baseball talent, Shohei Ohtani’s run at a 50-50 season, ways to discourage intentional walks, a proposal to mandate six-inning outings for starting pitchers, a changing of the guard atop the FanGraphs farm system rankings, the extraordinary defense of Austin Hedges, and the nature vs. nurture debate about MLB fathers and sons. Then (1:10:07) they meet major leaguers Daniel Robert, Yilber Diaz, and Michael Petersen, plus (1:34:35) several postscript updates.Audio intro: Gabriel-Ernest, “Effectively Wild Theme”Audio outro: Andy Ellison, “Effectively Wild Theme”Link to Judge/Soto article 1Link to Judge/Soto article 2Link to Judge/Soto article 3Link to Davy Andrews on the IBBLink to Judge mechanical changesLink to Ben/Sam on global talentLink to Ohtani splits by monthLink to Ohtani pitching progressLink to listener emails databaseLink to six-inning-starts articleLink to tweet about six-inning startsLink to would-be-disqualified startsLink to Ben on bullpenningLink to Ben on pitcher roster limitsLink to FG farm rankingsLink to Pipeline farm rankingsLink to Baez homerLink to Trueblood on HedgesLink to Hedges BP player cardLink to BP catcher defense leaderboardLink to “framing chances” definitionLink to Hedges PitchCom articleLink to Ben on Hedges in 2015Link to BP C defense since 2015Link to Molina framing montageLink to Yadi running-game graphLink to Ben on framing improvementsLink to fathers/sons dataLink to LaRoche retrospectiveLink to B-Ref new debutsLink to Kenny Jackelen’s TwitterLink to Robert article 1Link to Robert article 2Link to Diaz article 1Link to Diaz article 2Link to Diaz strawberries photoLink to Petersen article 1Link to Petersen article 2Link to Petersen debut game logLink to Petersen interview clipLink to Petersen UK tweetLink to MLBTR on HillLink to EW 1780 Stat BlastLink to Hill on EWLink to Hill/Anthony tweetLink to Fitzgerald playLink to Fitzgerald/Bonds statLink to Fitzgerald article 1Link to Fitzgerald article 2Link to Fitzgerald plays dataLink to RE chartsLink to Melvin clipLink to Ben C. on the playLink to Ben C. on bunt mathLink to Rob Mains on zombie buntsLink to Rob on bunts againLink to The Sandlot audio clipLink to The Sandlot video clipLink to Space Jam clipLink to The Benchwarmers video clipLink to 1955 newspaper clipLink to Torgeson vs. SpahnLink to Wade/Ward wikiLink to ballpark meetup formsLink to meetup organizer form Sponsor Us on Patreon Facebook Group Twitter Account EW Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)
